Lodz electricity supplier Lodzki Zaklad Energetyczny pounced on a number of real estate holdings that were stealing energy, using a special connection through a generator that evaded meters. The culprits include a building firm owning electric powered sand-mixers, a local radio station, and houses of senior officials among them a town hall councilor and a board member of the local Patient Fund. When questioned, the accused claimed they had no knowledge that it was necessary to use the electricity provided in a building owned by someone else. The case has been reported to the prosecutor 's office and appropriate investigations have been promised. (Rzeczpospolita, page A3) S.M.
